| Publisher Description: This book examines the rise of human rights movements in five Latin American countries-Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil, Nicaragua, and Bolivia-among the hemisphere's most isolated and powerless people, Latin American Indians. It describes the impact of the Indian rights movement on world politics, from reforming the United Nations to evicting foreign oil companies, and analyzes the impact of these human rights experiences for all of Latin America's indigenous citizens and native people throughout the world. |
